Rove Comment Puts Spotlight on Hillary Clinton’s Health

Longtime Republican operative Karl Rove is putting front-and-center the issue of Hillary Clinton’s age and health, contending that a fall she took in 2012 gave rise to a brain injury that she needs to disclose more fully, according to a person who heard him discuss the matter at a closed-door event last week.

Mr. Rove spoke about Mrs. Clinton’s health at a paid corporate speaking engagement in southern California on May 8, in which he discussed the 2016 presidential race and other issues in an on-stage conversation with former Obama White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.
